Hope these pics show okay. The Blue Velvet is gorgeous in person, a striking cobalt blue color. I wish Brooks had another "blue" saddle besides the "Team Pro special edition." My *** is too wide for the Team Pro.

I want different rack, saddle and fenders, but for now I'm happy. Fender solutions first please. These are Planet Bike fenders 26'' and they suck. I have 700C Planet bike fenders on my 520 and they fit great. These just aren't made for skinnier 26 inch tires. Any suggestions?
Beautiful bike! even if I AM biased!

I have no suggestions on the fenders, I need fenders and rack myself for my LHT but need to settle the saddle issues first. I am looking forward to seeing what you decide. Very good to hear that you can use those levers they sent - apparently they don't pay much attention when they are boxing the builds what size levers should come with it.

Glad to hear you found a home for the Aurora, and your soon-to-be-named LHT and you will be able to put on many, many miles I am certainly trying to get as many miles on MY Surly boy as I can
